new painting!


This painting is a commissioned portrait. It is 33 x 40 inches. Oil on recycled canvas. This commission was my dream commission. I was able to photograph the source image and I was given free range apart from painting a portrait. So I consider this a part of my body of work even though it was commissioned! yay!
